[jbosstools-dev] Docker connections in Docker Tooling - request for feedback

[Martin Malina]

Hi all,

We are looking into ways to improve the Docker Tooling UI in Eclipse and would like to ask for help.

Xavier and I discussed one scenario which is currently quite confusing, it is described here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=495600

In short, this is the use case:
1. Start CDK
2. Connect to Docker
3. Stop CDK
4. Start CDK
5. Connect to Docker
 - here I was failing for a long time until Xavier told me I needed to click this "Enable Connection" button, to make the connection work again.
This issue was previously discussed here: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3739

We would appreciate if any of you had any suggestions how to improve this.

Thanks
Martin
